Chapter 207: 188. The long-awaited true love

Time seemed to freeze after Madeline’s statement, and Jaysen didn’t immediately speak but merely gazed steadily at her delicate, dazzling face. His deep, ink-like eyes gradually sunk into her beauty...

It was undeniable, Madeline was stunningly beautiful. Unlike Ivy’s pristine beauty, Madeline’s looks were intense. If Ivy resembled a fairy from the heavens, then Madeline was like a rich, elegant flower blooming in the mortal realm!

Elegant yet not monotonous, dignified yet not lacking in character!

Such a girl, who was also an only child, made it no wonder that the Harrison family entrusted their business endeavors to her. A woman like her had the ability to attract an outstanding man to continue their family’s legacy!

As their eyes met in silence, the room was filled only with the sound of their ragged breaths. When Madeline thought Jaysen wouldn’t answer her unreasonable question, his deep, elegant voice accompanied by his labored breathing came forth word by word...

"I, Jaysen Smith, am not lacking in women willing to sleep with me!"

His implication was that there were many women willing to sleep with him. Madeline’s face immediately turned deathly pale upon hearing his words. Of course, why would someone like Mr. Smith lack women who wanted to sleep with him?

What did Madeline think she was? Just a woman rejected by someone else and forced into blind dates!

As Madeline’s heart fell deeper into despair, Jaysen continued slowly, "What I lack is a woman willing to sleep with me for a lifetime."

After saying this, his deep, ink-like eyes locked onto her gaze, so focused that it seemed to suck away her soul. In a daze, Jaysen paused before his solemn words landed softly on her ears and took root in her heart: "So, I only accept a woman who is willing to sleep with me for a lifetime!"

A lifetime...

Jaysen’s words were deep and infatuated, causing the already dazed Madeline to feel as though she was floating. Especially the way he uttered the word "lifetime" so full of love, it seemed he had prepared for a long time, waiting for the right moment to tell the one he loves.

Madeline’s heart shuddered first, and then ached under the weight of his intense gaze, an inexplicable pain...

She didn’t know why she felt this way, the feeling being both unfamiliar and frightening, even more so than when she was abandoned by Theo Scott...

"Jaysen, don’t... look at me like that!" Madeline couldn’t bear to look at his focused and slightly obsessed gaze. "Looking at me like this makes me feel as though I am deeply sinful!"

Indeed, his gaze was too pure and yet too devoted. Even with a man’s innate desires controlling him, there was no trace of animalistic lust in his eyes. Instead, they were filled with deep affection!

In a daze, she felt an illusion that she was the woman at the center of his heart!

Ha! Dressed to impress and showing up at the house of a man infatuated with her at night, claiming to sleep with him to borrow his genes — wasn’t that sinful enough?

Throughout all of Andras City, only Madeline had such a muddled mind and audacity. Anyone else confronted with such a beautiful woman on their doorstep would undoubtedly take advantage of the situation. Yet here he was, refusing her advances, as if he thought men were stupid!

Or was it that the condom businesses around the world no longer needed to operate?

In cases like these, was it right to borrow or not?

Does she have the final say in this?

Observing her panicked and uneasy eyes, Jaysen smirked before getting up and releasing her: "I can’t drive you home tonight since I’ve had alcohol, so you can choose between sleeping in the guest room or my main bedroom."

Here was the guest room, which she had already occupied. He remembered she had insisted on staying in his main bedroom last time and seemed to really like it!

"Actually, your main bedroom is indeed nice, so I’ll just sleep in the guest room!"

She was a bit embarrassed to sleep in such a splendid main bedroom!

Even though she liked his main bedroom very much, with its low-key luxury and artistic taste, reflecting the style of a man who has good taste and enjoys life. Although she had only stayed there for one night, she had fallen in love with it. But it was, after all, someone else’s home and she was already lucky to be allowed to stay overnight. It would be harder to justify being picky!

Jaysen glanced at her with a smile before leaning down, picking her up horizontally and carrying her in his arms.

"Jaysen, what are you doing?"

Madeline was startled by his sudden action. This wasn’t the first time he had held her, but it was the first time while she was sober. In the previous instances, she had been drunk.

Being held by a man in a princess carry like this was also a first for her. Even after dating Theo Scott for so many years, she had never been held like this. Some say that the princess carry is a man’s way of showing exclusive affection for a woman, which is why most men would rather carry you on their back than casually perform a princess carry...

"What else could I be doing? Of course, I’m carrying you to bed!"

Jaysen laughed and glanced at her. As he stepped towards the main bedroom, what else could he do? He had already restrained himself during the most intense moments. What else could he do now?

"Jaysen, don’t tell me you just want to sleep under the same quilt with me and chat?"

Madeline was tucked into bed by Jaysen and watched as he climbed onto the other side of the bed. Judging by his unhurried actions, it was clear he had no intention of doing anything with her.

Even though she came to his house intending to sleep with him, they had already experienced the most intense moments, so Madeline now trusted him. However, she was curious why he was acting this way!

He was clearly not impotent, didn’t want to sleep with her, yet still allowed her to share a bed with him. Wouldn’t that mean he was deliberately making things difficult for himself?

She really couldn’t figure out this man!

"Yes," Jaysen affirmed, tucking the quilt before turning to look at her. His voice was serious as he said, "When you sleep on this bed and feel that I should be your other half, if you want my genes, I will lend them to you!"

After finishing his sentence, Jaysen turned away from her, closed his eyes, and did not look at her anymore!

I should be your other half?

Other half?

Isn’t that...

Madeline’s heart suddenly raced, and her mind buzzed erratically. The words echoed in her head, making it difficult for her to sleep. Why did that casual statement of his make her not want to even think about sleep at all?

When she saw that the man hadn’t made any more moves, she took out her phone, and without missing a single word, sent a message on WhatsApp to Ivy, asking her what it meant.

After just finishing her shower, Ivy was having Michael Gordon blow dry her hair when Bianca came running over with her phone in hand: "Mommy! Madeline just sent you a message on WhatsApp, take a look!"

Madeline sent her a message?

At this time of night?

She remembered that Madeline had called her in the afternoon, saying she was going to seduce Jaysen. So now, at this point in time, shouldn’t she be in the midst of her attempts?

Why would she have time to send her a message?
